As a police officer, you have no real
constituency.  If you engage in misconduct,
you'll be on your own.  The good news is...you
have total control over your conduct.  The bad
news is...your proper conduct will never
ensure immunity from attack.
Police Complaint Center : Policeabuse.org - We exist to help citizens report misconduct. We assist with
the filing of complaints because we believe that accountability is critical to the public service mission of police
organizations. Our efforts are not intended to hinder the police nor to embarrass officers without cause.
However, we are sure that cases of misconduct and the failure to receive complaints by the police must be
publicized to prevent their reoccurrence.
American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) - The American system of
government is founded on two counterbalancing principles: that the majority of
the people governs, through democratically elected representatives; and that
the power even of a democratic majority must be limited, to ensure individual
rights.
Amnesty International USA - The Domestic Human Rights Program of
Amnesty International USA focuses on violations of human rights that occur in
the United States. This program works with regional offices, other AIUSA
programs, and our activists to facilitate initiatives designed to hold the US
accountable to our nation's most cherished values. Our current work focuses on
monitoring and combating racial profiling, TASER related human rights
violations, juvenile life without parole, and Patriot Act reform.
Citizens Against Police Abuse - By police abuse, we mean the inappropriate and illegal use of police
powers to coerce, harass, intimidate, arrest, assault and kill members of our community. Police abuse also
occurs in the form of racial profiling, illegal roadblocks and illegal searches. The victims of police abuse are
often the usual targets of institutional discrimination: racial minorities, homeless people, gays, youth and
anyone who protests against the system. It can happen, however, to anybody. In Louisville, the abuse occurs
often enough that almost everyone knows someone who has been harassed, jacked up, beaten or arrested. All
of us have heard about the men who have been killed by the police.
